[gduns - with the Lord]

S. Parks,
If I could tell you the magic combination of components, and settings, I would do it just to save MTU The greif they are going through with this night mare. But there will still be the one computer combination of components out there that would cause it to happen.

I'm sorry if I come across like there is not a code issue that doesnt make hoster work under all conditions. MY point is that with a little work, tweaking will take out the problem. and will probably help the computer on most all other applicarions as well.

I will say that the computers I build are not thrown together like the $400.00 dell you can buy from tv. I only buy better components, OLextor, gigabyte motherboards, msi nvidea 5700 & above video cards. and soundblaster audigy 2 soundcards. I was having problems with a built in soundcard. But on another Identical system, I had to put in an audigy card.

There are variations from board to board, and I am lucky enough tho have a dealer that works with me on swapping out bad components. POP hits monthly definately does do something different that has a impact. I worked on a system for almost a week, getting it to loose the dropout on "the Love song" by jeff bates. I have had no problems since.

I really hope this matter gets resolved, But until MTU gets the code More portable, Try a little tweaking, you may end your own greif. One source of problems I had was a MSi video board a GE force440. if you are using that one beware.

Good luck
